IT MUST BE FAITH arrives in the best form. A winner over 6f in November, he ran well stepped up to 1m2f on his reappearance at Yarmouth and today's shorter trip should suit. Circumvent may do better dropping down in class but there seemed little excuse for the recent poor efforts of Harry Bosch and Talented Kid. Luhaif and Balducci have both tumbled down the weights with the latter preferred on only his second outing of the year.
Talented Kid 3-1fav (9-7) Held up in touch, pushed along and struggling 3f out, eased when no chance final furlong, tailed off, last of 7, 36l behind Uncle Dermot (8-11) at Ayr 7f hcp 0-85 (4) gs in May.
Harry Bosch 8-1 (9-4) Pulled hard, led 2f, chased leader until 5f out, pushed along over 3f out, weakened quickly inside final 3f, behind and eased well over 1f out, last of 12, 33l behind Ree's Rascal (8-13) at Newbury 1m hcp 0-85 (4) gs in May.
Circumvent 14-1 (8-2) Led, ridden and headed over 2f out, kept on one pace, 6th of 19, 6l behind Niceofyoutotellme (8-8) at Newmarket 1m 1f hcp (2) gf in May.
Balducci 9-2 (9-7) Pushed along leaving stalls, chased leaders, driven and no impression 2f out, weakened over 1f out, 4th of 7, 16l behind Uncle Dermot (8-11) at Ayr 7f hcp 0-85 (4) gs in May.
Luhaif 50-1 (8-7) Led, ridden and headed over 2f out, weakened over 1f out, 7th of 8, 18l behind Soviet Rock (8-13) at Lingfield 1m 2f hcp 0-100 (2) gd in May.
